It’s a mystery
I am sorry it’s been so long, I hadn’t realised (yet again) that it’s been nearly a month since I last posted.
It is strange that after a month since I shut down Dropaholics and replaced the widget there are still blogs trying to display it. Fortunately for me it has been replaced by a search box pointing to my Meta Search engine BookMarkCenter.com so is doing me no harm 
What have I been doing since my last post? not much work to be honest. Tracey decided a while back she wanted a new kitchen and called a builder out to knock down one of the walls to make the kitchen and dining rooms more joined/open plan. This meant we lost storage space etc and some kitchen units had to come out. That was a couple of months ago, and me being a man said ‘ah thats ok no rush’, ‘we can make do with what’s left’ etc. Well we have been to Ikea more times than I’ve had hot dinners in the past month and picked up little bits each time, ie base unit this week, worktop next week etc.
Our kitchen is a galley kitchen, so we decided to do one side at a time, well we had everything we needed for the one side, I had to remove and lay some floor tiles which is a bloody messy job (they way i work at least), and over the weekend we fitted the units and worktop, the one problem we have is that Tracey won’t let me cut out for the new kitchen sink, so we are waiting for her father to do it (this evening) and at the moment we have no kitchen sink which is a right pain in the back side.
A few weeks ago I posted What’s wrong with me? well it appears the doctor hasn’t a clue what the problem is. Well that is what he is telling me. I first had blood tests and they came back all clear so he sent me for a chest xray, can you believe in this day and age it takes over a week to get an xray from a community hospital to the doctors surgery, anyway that came back clear.
My last visit the doc asked if I was still experiencing the same symptoms, as if they would stop after months because I have had tests, and when I said yes he said he would refer me to the hospital. It used to be the case that the hospital would make the appointment and then tell you the time and place, not any more, I received a letter from the doctors surgery telling me I have been referred and I need to make an appointment. I did this online, and actually it turns out to be a good thing, I was able to choose when and where I had the appointment. I could have made an appointment in about 3 weeks time, but that falls during the kids school holidays and at a location I don’t know, the next available time was 2 weeks later at the local hospital so I took that as the kids would be at school.
It amazes me that from the the time I first saw the doctor to the time I am seen at the hospital will be nearly 3 month, heck it’s a good job I’m not dieing. I can’t complain I suppose, it is FREE health care which we PAY for in our taxes etc. I could PAY more and go private but I am not in a financial position to do that these days.
Anyway, I won’t know any thing for a while yet so it’s back to work.
